North Buncombe High School was built after the decision to build larger schools and a $5.5 million bond that county voters approved. William B. Brackett designed the $658,000 building housing 200 students, which opened August 26, 1954 on 31 acres, the first to open under the new plan. Barnardsville, Flat Creek, Red Oak, French Broad High Schools became K–8 schools and Weaverville High School became Weaverville Middle School (grades 7'8). In 1987, a new school opened on the former site of Asheville-Weaverville Speedway.{{cite news|url=http://www.citizen-times.com/story/news/local/2015/08/25/today-asheville-history-aug/32326617/|title=Today in Asheville History, Aug. 26|work=Asheville Citizen-Times|date=August 26, 2015|accessdate=October 8, 2015}} The old high school building then became North Buncombe Middle School.
